i think back to the political science classes in college. assuming that he is a rational actor and even if he thinks he may lose and need a place to go like russia and live in exile somewhere. it would not make sense for him to use these weapons would it? >> we have to look at the generals around him. he is not alone in this. there are a group of generals and they are from his own promotion. they are not being offered a way out. you know, and the way that they look at it. i have spent a lot of time with these people. they are a cult. they think their survival is at stake. even if the united states is to enter. that would be a better option for them than to losing to the rebels who they consider terrorists and their chances are dimming by the day and they are the closed mentalities. and to bob's earlier point, if the chemicals are mixed and loaded into delivery devices that is a concern. there are groups on the ground and if the control over the weapons is lost who knows where they could end up. what is the u.s. military posture in the region

. >> bob, i think back to entry-level political science classes in college. you talk about the rationale act or model. assuming al assad is a rational actor, even if he thinks he may lose and need a place to go some day like russia or be able to live in exile somewhere, just rationally speaking, it would not make sense for him to use these weapons, would it? >> well, we have to look at the generals around him. he's not alone in this. he's not a single man making these decisions. there are a group of generals from his own promotion which are controlling this war. they are not being offered a way out. you know, and the way they look at it, i've spent a lot of time with these people. they're virtually a cult. they think their survival's at stake. even if the united states were to enter in any sort of -- you know, to go in and get the weapons, that would be a better option for them than to losing to the rebels who they consider terrorists, fundamentalists, whatever you want. and their chances are dimming by the day. and they're very desperate and they are this cl

which isn't rocket science. it's just common sense. from td ameritrade. we're keeping them honest. looking for facts, not offering our opinions or playing favorites. we're not supporting democrats or republicans. you can go to other cable channels for that. our goal is reporting, finding the truth and calling out hypocrisy. tonight the people you elected to go to washington and get things done can't seem to make any progress at all on the looming fiscal cliff. instead, what we have is a game of finger pointing, both democrats and republicans, what else, blaming each other for the lack of a deal. now, keep in mind time is of the essence here. automatic tax hikes and spending cuts will go into effect in just four weeks if your members of congress can't come together and do a deal. on paper, it shouldn't be too hard. it's the job the american people elected them to do and the american people expect results. they want compromise. in fact, two separate cnn/orc polls, in those polls, an overwhelming number of people, 72%, said both sides should do a better job working together in general
